Primate and Human Evolution provides a broad synthetic perspective on widely divergent fields within evolutionary anthropology. It integrates the evidence of non-human primate paleontology, anatomy and behavior with the evidence from human paleontology and Palaeolithic archaeology, and using comparative evidence from animal behavior, it addresses the origins of tool behavior, intelligence and complex sociality in early humans. Written for upper level students and researchers, this will be a must for all those interested in the evolution of all primates, including ourselves.
